摘要:
The field of the invention is a combination of a microscope and an interactive image analysis system comprising a camera and a computer work station. The purpose of the invention is to facilitate the interactive control of coordinate displacements of the stage of the microscope. For each coordinate x and y an electromechanical control channel is established. At the input of the control channel two cascaded wheels in a coaxial arrangement and two angle encoders are used as a detached, independent tool which is not kinematically linked to the stage. In the middle of the control channel, the pulses of the angle encoders undergo a non-linear transformation. A processor performs a calculation which discriminates between slow displacements and fast displacements. At the end of the control channel, a flat, easily accessible platform of the microscope stage has two working areas, one for manual previewing and one for interactive scanning of a specimen.

A robot learning system for trajectory learning of a robot (RB) having a robot arm between a base and a tool center point (TCP). A user interface allows the user to control the robot arm in order to follow a desired trajectory during a real-time. A probe sensor (PS) is mounted on the TCP during the learning session. The probe sensor (PS) measures a distance parameter (Z) indicative of distance from the TCP and a surface forming the trajectory to be followed, and an orientation parameter (X, Y) indicative of orientation of the TCP and the surface forming the trajectory to be followed. These distance and orientation data are provided as a feedback to the controller of the robot (CTL) during the real-time learning session, thereby allowing the robot controller software to assist the user in following a desired trajectory in a continuous manner. Especially, the probe sensor (PS) may have a displaceable tip (TP) to follow a surface and having a neutral or center position, and where the robot controller software controls the robot movements to seek the neutral or center position irrespective of the user's control inputs. Data (DT) is logged during the learning session, so as to allow later control of the robot (RB) in response to the data (DT) logged during the learning session.

The invention regards a remote control system for a numerical control operating machine that will move the head and/or machine spindle according to four or more axes in such a way as to use a sample to define the most important points of work runs to be used later on a given piece. It consists of a lever control device (joy-stick) capable of controlling the linear movements of the machine according to three orthogonal axes (X-Y-Z), and swivel-mounted around a horizontal axis B on a first support 13, to control the movement of the operating machine according to a fourth axis. The first support with said device is swivel-mounted around a vertical axis C on a second support 14, to control the movement of the operating machine according to a fifth axis.

An industrial robot controller for teaching various operations to an industrial robot. The apparatus comprises a teaching handle (9) having a teaching switch (10) and a brake release switch (11), and a sequence control circuit (1). As the operator grips the teaching handle (9), the brake release switch (11) is operated, whereby a servo amplifier (5) comes into emergency halt in response to a signal thereof, and a dynamic brake is released. Therefore, the robot can be freely operated by the operator and can be taught safely.

A heterarchical device control system is provided, comprising a plurality of computer-implemented cells. At least one cell is a control cell having software arranged to communicate instructions to the device being controlled in a language native to the device so as to perform a predetermined task. Also, at least one cell is a sensor cell configured to generate sensor data for input to the control cell to facilitate performance of the predetermined task. The sensor data might be environmentally-related data e.g. position of the device, speed of travel, angle of elevation etc. Messages sent between the cells are formed in accordance with a common format, which might be a high-level programming language, a low level programming language or a protocol. This arrangement provides a fault-tolerant, scalable and autonomous control system.
